On October 1, 2021, Sheffield Police Sgt. Nick Risner put his patrol car into a fleeing truck to stop a man who had already killed twice that day — and stopped him short of a crowded Walmart parking lot. It cost Risner his life. He never got his weapon out of the holster.This month, a Colbert County jury convicted Brian Lansing Martin on all ten counts and unanimously voted for death.But there's a part of this story most of the coverage has skipped. Martin should never have been on the street that day. He had already killed his own father, took a manslaughter conviction, and walked out early under Alabama's "good time" law. After Risner was killed, the legislature closed that loophole — with a bill that carries his name.I spent 17 years in law enforcement, most of it as a detective and a supervisor. In this video I walk through what actually happened that afternoon, why the officers made the decisions they made, what the jury heard, and why Nick Risner's name is now written into Alabama law.CHAPTERS0:00 — The last thing between him and them0:25 — Who Brian Martin already was1:20 — The decision every cop trains for2:30 — What it cost3:10 — The verdict3:55 — The law with his name on itSOURCESTrial and verdict coverage: WAFF 48, WHNT News 19, Yellowhammer NewsArrest documents as reported by WHNT News 192022 legislative record — Sgt.

In January 2023, a labor and delivery nurse from Duxbury, Massachusetts killed her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — and then tried to end her own life. She survived. She's been in a wheelchair ever since.Her defense never argued she didn't do it.For four months before that day, Lindsay Clancy asked for help. She saw psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, therapists. She checked herself into a day program. On New Year's Eve she admitted herself to McLean Hospital, one of the most respected psychiatric hospitals in the country. She was discharged January 5th.Her children died on January 24th.This episode is the full trial, start to finish — the testimony, the medical records, the FBI psychiatrist, the dueling experts, and the closing arguments that sent this jury out.

I sat down with Carson Burks — the young man publicly accusing his father, a Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy, of decades of abuse. The interview started as planned. Then I brought up a police report from June 19th, and everything changed.What I didn't know at the time: Carson had me live on his TikTok without my knowledge. When the conversation turned somewhere he didn't want it to go, he ended the stream and told me it was a phone call from his brother. It wasn't.In this episode: what the June 19th report describes, how Carson answered when I pushed him on it and on where his GoFundMe money is actually going, and the 30 minutes he spent afterward asking me not to release any of this.I'm Derek Baker — former narcotics detective, SWAT, Navy combat veteran — and I believe the public deserves the full picture, not just the parts that were convenient.⚠️ This episode discusses domestic violence, child abuse, and a separate alleged assault.

🚨 NEW COURT DOCS just dropped in the Joshua Stapleton case (Bartow County, GA - SUCR2023000459). His attorney is pushing hard to reduce his 60-month prison sentence for multiple counts of sexual exploitation of children — or move him to house arrest with an ankle monitor.In this Amended Motion to Modify Sentence, they bring in a psychologist claiming it was all 'accidental classical conditioning' because Josh was watching adult porn first and then 'stumbled' onto child material while aroused. Derek calls this the WORST excuse he's ever heard.Plus:I personally read the indictments — the details were so horrific they kept me up all night. I'll never read them again.Lead investigator Ashley Cole said it was the worst images she'd ever seen... it forced her to leave law enforcement.This filing completely destroys Brittani Stapleton's long-time claims that Josh "never viewed child porn" and was "set up."Model inmate behavior, low-risk psych eval, parole math... but none of it erases the crimes against children. This is exactly why we demand real accountability.Watch the full breakdown now. What do you think — should this motion be DENIED? Should judges ever give house arrest in these cases?Drop your thoughts below 👇 Share this far and wide. Tag your reps. Protect the kids.AgentDBaker Truth Recon | No Filter. No Compromise.

In this explosive episode, we uncover one of the most shocking small-town scandals in Alabama right now.Walker County Coroner and former pastor Joseph Lee Vick, Sr. is accused of grooming and SA-ing a 14-year-old girl right after her father died. According to Ivie Trotter, Vick approached her in her grief, told her she needed a "father figure" — and then allegedly began abusing her.Years later, when she publicly spoke out to protect other girls, Vick sued her for defamation… and his best friend, Walker County Sheriff Nick Lee Smith, celebrated the lawsuit on social media with a now-deleted post saying he couldn’t wait to find out who the “fake accounts” were.Now Ivie is fighting back hard — filing a powerful counterclaim accusing Vick of SA, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and abuse of process.This case has everything: power, betrayal, grooming, a tight-knit church community, and troubling questions about law enforcement protecting their own.Was this justice… or a cover-up?Listen now and decide for yourself.Case Details: Walker County Circuit Court, Case No. CV-2026-900079Warning: This episode contains disturbing allegations of child SA.

⚠️ Warning: This video contains explicit language, strong language, and intense police body cam footage.In this reaction, I break down the full Florence, Alabama body camera footage from April 22, 2026. David Culliver decided to insert himself into a Lauderdale County Drug Task Force search warrant, disrupt traffic, ignore multiple warnings, resist arrest, and then — get this — grab and bite a police K9.Watch as officers try to de-escalate, give him every chance, and only use force (including the K9) after he physically attacks the dog.

🚨 ALABAMA HYPOCRISY EXPOSED: Rep. Ernie Yarbrough wants to LOCK your vote... but couldn't LOCK UP his own AR-15? 😡Just days ago (March 22, 2026), in Trinity, AL — a 6-year-old grabbed an unsecured .556 rifle from a bedroom and accidentally shot his 13-year-old brother in the shoulder. Kid rushed to hospital, recovering, but this was 100% preventable negligence.Guess who represents that district? The SAME guy sponsoring HB 541 (SAVE Act) — the bill that just PASSED the Alabama House to CLOSE primaries, force party registration, track your affiliation, and BAN independents/crossover voters from primaries starting 2027.He literally compared voting to football teams needing "clear separation" and "identity." Meanwhile, his house had a loaded rifle accessible to a toddler. 🤦‍♂️This isn't "safeguarding" elections — it's voter suppression from a man who can't safeguard his own kids. KILL HB 541 in the Senate NOW. Call your senator. Share if you're furious. Alabama deserves leaders with real accountability — not hypocrites.

Most child sexual abuse isn’t a stranger. It’s someone with access.This video gives parents a hard-hitting, practical safety framework: body boundaries, “no secrets” rules, grooming red flags, supervision standards, online safety, and exactly what to say if a child discloses.✅ What you’ll learn:The boundary rule that protects kids (and why “forced affection” is risky)Grooming patterns: attention + access + secrecyNon-negotiable home rules (doors, bathrooms, sleepovers, messaging)Questions that actually get kids talkingWhat to say if your child tells you something: “I believe you. It’s not your fault.”Reminder: Talking about safety does not “put ideas” in kids’ heads. It gives them language and permission to speak up.If you’re a parent, caregiver, coach, or youth leader—share this. Silence is what abusers count on.

A former daycare employee at Trinity United Methodist Church’s Child Development Center in Huntsville, Alabama was arrested on child SA charges. Since then, reports say a second charge was filed, multiple families filed a lawsuit, and two daycare leaders were placed on administrative leave while the church reviews whether proper processes were followed.This video breaks down what’s been reported, what questions parents deserve answered, and why “we’re heartbroken” is not enough when child safety systems fail.⚠️ Active investigation.

Oakman, Alabama residents remember the water crisis—days without water, families scrambling to shower, and the public demanding answers. Now, the Alabama Attorney General says a Walker County mother and son have been indicted, accused of stealing more than $680,000 from the Providence Water Authority.In this video, I break down the timeline: the January 2024 outages, the community outrage, the later $500,000 grant for upgrades, and what the indictments/lawsuit allegations claim happened behind the scenes.Important: An indictment is an accusation. Sharon and Cody Windham are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. But the public deserves transparency—and accountability—if the evidence supports these charges.

Alabama’s medical cannabis program is finally rolling out — and Homestead Health just got licensed as a medical cannabis processor in Jasper. Let me be clear: I’m pro-cannabis and I want it legalized. I think this is a step in the right direction for patients and for the state.BUT… I don’t believe in coincidences. And it’s real interesting that one of the first major licenses pops up in Walker County — a county with a long history of corruption and backroom behavior.I’m not accusing anyone of wrongdoing. I’m saying this industry attracts big money, and sometimes big money comes with shady connections. So I’m digging into who owns it, who funds it, who’s connected, and how this license happened. Transparency shouldn’t scare anybody.If you have legit info or receipts, message me. And if you support legalization but want it done CLEAN — comment your thoughts below. 👇

What I witnessed today inside Judge Junkin’s courtroom was the clearest, boldest example of corruption I’ve seen in my entire investigative career.DA Andy Hamlin and Judge Junkin—the same judge/DA who let child predator Timothy Vess Benton walk free 12 years early—just railroaded an 18-year-old kid with ZERO criminal history for defending his mother from a violent man who broke into their home.This is the full, unfiltered breakdown of EVERYTHING the public needs to know.

Caleb survived two devastating ATV accidents, including a traumatic brain injury that ended his dream of playing baseball.

Greene County, Alabama—new state audit filed Oct 3 covering Oct 1, 2018–Apr 30, 2024 says Sheriff Jonathan M. Benison’s office owes ~$4.97M after partial relief on $5.34M in undocumented bingo spending. For a decade, basic controls were ignored: no monthly bank reconciliations, incomplete cashbooks, late deposits, missing receipts—even on sensitive fees. This is what happens when law enforcement runs a gambling business: the ref becomes the house. Based on this record, Greene County is one of—if not THE—most corrupt counties in Alabama, running neck-and-neck with Walker County.

Christopher Barbour has spent 30 years on Alabama’s death row for a murder DNA proves he didn’t commit. The real killer, Jerry Tyrone Jackson, was free — and nine years later, he brutally stabbed a young mother, Monique Vaughn, 27 times while her baby slept in the next room.This is the ripple effect of false confessions. When police coerce the wrong man, the real killer walks — and innocent lives are destroyed.And now Alabama’s Attorney General, Steve Marshall — who is running for U.S. Senate — is still fighting to keep Barbour locked up. He claims the DNA evidence “doesn’t matter,” insisting a grieving single mother must have had consensual sex with Jackson before being raped and murdered by Barbour.DNA doesn’t lie. But prosecutors do when protecting their convictions.This is not justice. This is politics at the expense of truth, and people are dead because of it.

What really happens inside the interrogation room? For decades, law enforcement has relied on interviews and interrogations to solve crimes — but when the line between ethical and unethical gets blurred, justice is destroyed.In this explosive one-hour deep dive, Agent D. Baker exposes the history, the controversies, and the human cost of interrogation. From the Supreme Court’s ban on torture in Brown v. Mississippi, to the CIA’s Enhanced Interrogation Techniques after 9/11, to the everyday use of the Reid Technique by police across America — this episode reveals the truth they don’t want you to hear.💥 Are interrogations uncovering truth… or creating lies?💥 How many innocent people have been sent to prison because of false confessions?💥 And what does an ethical interrogation actually look like?Dr. James Mitchell, (2013) Enhanced Interrogation: Inside the Minds and Motives of the Islamic Terrorists Trying to Destroy America.Pollock, J.M.

When someone calls the 14-day torture of Tony Mitchell “one measly issue,” you know the lies run deep. Walker County is NOT safer. Families are grieving, lives have been destroyed, and accountability is nowhere to be found. Watch this before you believe the propaganda.

Judge Samuel Junkin just filed his so-called ‘Order of Recusal’ in the Timothy Vess Benton case—but it’s full of contradictions, excuses, and flat-out BS. He claims he protected the victims by moving Benton into Community Corrections, when in reality, he gave a child predator more freedom and then tried to spin it as justice. I’m breaking down every lie, every contradiction, and every excuse in this 30-minute exposé. Watch and share—Fayette County deserves the truth!

Walker County Deputy JJ Jackson sent me private messages defending himself — but instead, he admitted the unthinkable. He says he ‘accidentally’ shot and killed unarmed, mentally ill Ricky Height Jr. He admits he killed a goat he wasn’t even afraid of. He brags about calling a content creator’s boss to try to get her fired. And he claims criticism only gets more votes for him and Sheriff Nick Smith. In this video, I break down the shocking confessions in JJ’s own words. Watch the messages for yourself. The truth can’t be hidden any longer.

In less than two years, three men in Walker County, Alabama—Frederick ‘Ricky’ Hight Jr., Gregory Hambric, and Anthony ‘Tony’ Mitchell—lost their lives after encounters with deputies while suffering mental health episodes.From a father’s 911 call for help that ended in gunfire, to a man shot nearly 20 times, to an inmate frozen to death in a jail cell—these are not isolated incidents.

Dustin Beaty says he’s a victim of the opioid crisis. But records prove he helped fuel it — millions of pills, missing opioids, and a suspended license. Walker County families paid the price. Don’t let history repeat itself.
